We thought it'd be a slow-ish night while guest hosting the nationally syndicated Mike Malloy Show on Christmas Eve Eve tonight. Boy were we wrong! (We'll also be filling in next Thursday and Friday, by the way.) Hope you can tune in tonight! It'll be worth it!

We'll be BradCasting LIVE 9pm-Mid ET (6p-9p PT), coast-to-coast and around the uprising, pre-Christmas globe from the studios of L.A.'s KTLK am1150 in beautiful downtown Burbank. Join us by tuning in, chatting in, Tweeting in and calling in! Our LIVE chat room will be up and rolling right here at The BRAD BLOG, as usual, while we are on the air. Please stop by and join the fun while you're listening! (The Chat Room will open at the bottom of this item a few minutes before airtime, see down below, just above "Comments" section.)

LORI COMPAS, the leading organizer of WI's "Recall Fitzgerald" campaign, demanding an apology from state Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald who inaccurately claimed that she and her fellow petitioners were committing fraud in their signature gathering efforts to have him recalled along with Gov. Scott Walker.

POST-SHOW UPDATE: It was a Christmas miracle! Nothing but good news (mostly) on the Malloy Show tonight! How often does that happen?! (Ever?) Plus some rockin' holiday music from our awesome engineer Tony Sorrentino! Lots of stuff to keep you feelin' good over the holiday weekend, all now posted below, commercial-free as our holiday gift to you! Enjoy!...

(Each "Hour" actually 38 mins, now that commercials are removed.)

HOUR 1: All good and/or breaking news! Boehner's collapse; Perry fails to make primary ballot in VA; DoJ says no to Photo ID restrictions in SC; IN's GOP Sec. of State sent packing (thanks to his own voter fraud!); the fate of Progressive radio in San Francisco on Clear Channel's Green960 (and what you can do about it)...Download MP3 or listen online below...

HOUR 2: More good news, as Lori Compass joins us to talk about her "Recall Fitzgerald" effort in WI; Arrests made against those assaulting "Recall Walker" workers; ACLU taking on Photo ID restrictions in WI; EAC finally does it's job (sort of) and details massive failures with ES&S paper ballot systems in OH and elsewhere...Download MP3 or listen online below...

HOUR 3: Your calls with more good news; your guesses as to who will be declared the winner of the IA caucus; a quick visit from Desi; and a caller who is happy to disenfranchise American voters (the only Grinch of the night!)...Download MP3 or listen online below...

The letter from the DOJ states "the state's submission did not include any evidence or instance of either in-person voter impersonation or any other type of fraud that is not already addressed by the state's existing voter identification requirement and that arguably could be deterred by requiring voters to present only photo identification at the polls."

There is, indeed, no evidence of voter impersonation in SC.

But there is amble evidence of the vote being incorrectly counted --- over two thousand votes incorrectly counted in the last General Election. The legislature has chosen to not address a known voting problem and, instead, spend a great deal of money attacking a problem SC does not have.

Sorry for typos! I hate when the text fails to wrap. Anyway, there IS some good news, lesson being: when good people stand up and FIGHT the bastids, things can swing back to a rational place. If we keep quiet, we have only ourselves to blame. Much love to all!!!
